We're Calling It, Healthcare Is Going To Pass

Dennis Kucinich has announced his intention to support the bill,
and now, according to ace Washington Independent reporter
David Weigel, even the tea partiers are feeling dispirited.

Kucinich is an odd one, but he's actually important, and
presumably he wouldn't throw away his much-vaunted independence
if he thought he was going to be on the losing side of the
battle. He obviously knows that Pelosi and Hoyer and Co. can gin
up the necessary votes.

Healthcare stocks are getting smacked around today on this same
anticipation (although it's not obvious that the law will
actually hurt them).

And, finally, you can just hear the way the way the conversation
has changed to "when" Obama signs it, rather than "if".
